BORNEO TOURING

From the peak of Mount Kinabalu piercing the misty skies, to the thick jungle rainforest intertwined by centuries of undisturbed growth, to the stark moment of reflection you get from peering deep into the eyes of the native Orang-utans, Borneo’s reputation is enough to send you into a fantasy… so imagine seeing it for yourself!

Set apart from the Malaysian mainland, but almost covering as much area, Malaysian Borneo is split between the states of Sabah and Sarawak, both of which are teeming with spectacular natural beauty and breathtaking fauna to earn them the mantle as some of the most ecologically diverse areas of the world.

...

At 130 million years old, Borneo’s rainforest is considered to be the oldest in the world, evolving over time to breed 150,000 species of flowering plants, 3,000 species of trees, 221 species of mammal and 420 species of resident birds. It’s this diversity that makes Borneo a paradise for lovers of all things nature, so it is little surprise that eco-tourism is particularly popular here.

Sabah on the north-eastern trip of Borneo Island has the greater concentration of attractions to ensure you get the most out of this truly stunning tropical corner of the world.

As the second largest mountain in Asia, the 13,436ft (4095m) Mount Kinabalu carves a dominant figure in the Borneo skyline, the summit piercing the clouds on mistier days and the slopes painted in thick flora at different points. Protected by the Kinabalu National Park, despite its size Mount Kinabalu does not require experience or equipment to reach the peak – just make sure you allow yourself plenty of time and have good stamina!

Flanking the other side of Kota Kinabalu, Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park covers 4929 hectares comprising of 5 islands – Gaya, Mamutik, Manukan, Sapi and Sulug - and two-thirds sea. Each island is a vision of fantasy, the emerald iris of the inland ringed by golden shores, creating an intimate and idyllic environment to savour.

For many, a visit to Borneo isn’t complete without getting acquainted with some of its more famous residents, most notably the orang-utans that call this area their home. Classified as endangered in Borneo, the intelligent primates can be introduced to you at the world-renowned Sepilok Orang-utan Sanctuary, where the delightful creatures frolic and exist happily. Fascinating to watch, the park is also an educational experience to ensure a better understanding of their plight as the species comes under threat from modern development.

Borneo’s captivating fauna can be found under the surface too, with Turtle Islands Park and the island of Sipadan offering fascinating glimpses at the region’s thriving marine life. At Turtle Islands Park, which is located 40km off Sandakan, visitors are offered the chance to witness the turtles come ashore to lay their eggs, while Sipadan, positioned to the south-east of Borneo, has excellent opportunities to explore the underwater reef that surrounds the island.

Our selected itineraries strike the perfect balance between the freedom of travelling independently and the convenience of having your accommodation and transport pre-arranged; leaving you free to explore all the area has to offer.
